Did you ask a question? Did you run out to the parking lot and slit his tires? Did you ask the jerk why he went to your school and not mine? Did make rude noises while he was speaking? Did you do anything fun??

Hmm... I read through that CBC link but I didn't see anything about increasing the taxes by $1000/year for those earning between $15000 and $250000 (the two numbers that were mentioned). Although, I really don't like the sounds of cutting deficit payments in order to fund these programs. I really like a balanced budget, I want the national debt gone. But I also want health care... So, I guess I want my taxes raised for a few years until the debt goes away? S'pose I'll have to pay to eat my cake.
I completely agree with BrianM about our military. I was under the impression that we were still able to send out peacekeepers where they need to go, we just can't send large equipment like jeeps with them. I'd be happy with Peacekeepers, keep JTF2 around, maybe make a JTF3 and keep some boats in the water to shoot the crap out of all the bastards from other countries who insist on overfishing our stocks.

I sneered a lot. And made clever wisecracks to those within the vicinity... which would include his wife if her hearing's still good. I was planning to bring tomatoes, but that didn't pan out... you know, he has very watery eyes, like all old, senile people. And a red face. Darn airbrushing; I didn't recognize him at first.

I wrote the numbers in question immediately after hearing the broadcast on the radio, and averaging the cost over a rough number of working Canadians. Indirectly, it will cost that much anyways, because if they raise taxes for the rich, they could lower them proportionally for the poor instead of spending extra on social programs for the poor.

The whole problem with the Canadians is the bacon! Can't get it right northside of the border, can't make it anything but freaky-streaky red-striped fatty on the southside.
